Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip DVD Review

The kids and I watched Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip yesterday. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. I think this is the fourth one in the series, and it’s been about four years since the third film. We’ve seen the first three movies and this one is similar in the sense that it’s a silly story that is funny and full of fun songs (unless you don’t like the high-pitched voices of the chipmunks). I think most kids and their parents will enjoy The Road Chip. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip is available now on Blu-ray, DVD and digital HD.

The Fourth in the Series

As I mentioned previously, The Road Chip is the fourth Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. You don’t need to see the first three films to understand what’s going on. Basically the stories are about three chipmunks who can sing. But they also cause a lot of trouble for their guardian, Dave. In the first film, the three singing chipmunks (Alvin, Simon, Theodore) move into the city when the tree they were living in is chopped down and shipped to Los Angles. In the second film, we are introduced to the Chipettes (Brittany, Jeanette, Eleanor). In the third installment, the gang go on a cruise and then get shipwrecked on an island. BTW, you can catch up by watching The Story So Far feature on the DVD and Blu-ray.

The Road Chip

In the fourth movie, Alvin, Simon and Theodore think Dave is going to propose to his girlfriend when they go to Miami. The three chipmunks are against the marriage, but they are left behind in LA. So they decide to take a road trip to Miami to stop the marriage. Naturally, because they are the Alvin and the Chipmunks, they get into all sorts of trouble along the way. BTW, their nemesis in this story is Agent Suggs. He’s out to get the chipmunks because he blames them for the break-up with his girlfriend.

Special Features

The DVD includes the 93-minute animated film in DVD and digital HD format. In addition, both the DVD and Blu-ray include the following extra features:

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip is rated PG for some mild rude humor.
